My old person trait is that I think ‘ghosting’ is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

I’ve heard excellent things about Brother being the least extortionate printer in the market. How well does it work on Linux by the way?

Instantly. Least uncomplicated device on the network. Once I was angry at my laser printer for not showing up, turns out I accidentally left the ethernet cable disconnected afer moving it. Plugged it in, immediately popped up, no wait or restart needed. Prints immediately and effectively, cartridges are easy to replace and relatively cheap, never had stuck paper. Perfect printer.

Do they sell all-in-ones? For legacy reasons, I’ll need one with a bundled fax modem and a scanner if possible.

Yep, I have one of those. Model MFC-L2710DW. Been rock solid.

I have android and Chromebook tablets that work fine with it and an Ubuntu laptop that I only printed with a few times but it worked like I would have expected

I have a brother inkjet (AIO but I only ever really use the printer now) and a Samsung monochrome laser.

They both work tremendously well with Linux. Honestly printers are easier in Linux now than they are in Windows.
